A question came up in my AMA recently that I thought would be worth sharing in its entirety on my feed. Which would you go for?

There’s a simple framework we use when working out where everything should go, and it might not be where you’d expect. Private spaces here. Utility spaces there. And the best parts of the home saved for the spaces you actually live in.

It works differently depending on whether we’re planning a house or a small apartment. I break it down in this one. 👀

3 circulation mistakes I see in floor plans all the time when homeowners are building or renovating.

Poor circulation is one of the biggest reasons a home feels smaller than it is. In some floor plans I review, hallways, corridors and walk-through rooms take up well over half the floor area. That’s space you’re paying to build and can’t actually live in.

Number three is the one most people don’t realise they have.

EPISODE 7

Nothing in a well-designed floor plan should go to waste, whatever size the home is.

My clients spent years in a much smaller apartment before this one, and it shaped how they think about space. Every centimetre here has a purpose, because that's the standard I hold every floor plan to, regardless of square metres. Good design isn't about how much space you have. It's about how intentionally you use it.

Your floor plan is the most important decision you’ll make in your renovation and most people don’t realise it’s wrong until it’s too late.

Wasted space. Rooms that don’t connect. A layout that looks fine on paper but feels off the moment you live in it. These aren’t small problems. They compound every single day.

My method for resolving floor plan issues is built on one core principle: every part of your home should serve a purpose. We consolidate rooms into functional zones, eliminate wasted circulation, and design around how your family actually moves through the day.

If something feels off about your current plans, your gut is probably right.

Design choices I used to swear by… but would now be very reluctant to recommend.

No upper cupboards in kitchens.
Built-in bathtubs.
Timber decks.
Clinical interiors.

I know. I know.

And I suspect the no-upper-cupboards one is going to be the controversial choice! But design evolves with experience, tastes change and sometimes you look back and wonder what you were thinking.

Which one do you still love? Or is there a design choice you’d never be caught dead recommending?

EPISODE 6: OPEN PLAN

A floor plan should be designed around how people actually want to live, not around convention.

Knocking down a wall to create this open living, dining and kitchen space wasn't just about square metres, it was about orientation, light and the specific way my clients wanted to spend their time together. No TV. Social space that does its job well. Original details kept wherever the new plan allowed it. That's what makes a renovation feel considered rather than just finished.

When clients ask me how to make their home feel bigger, they often expect the answer to be an extension. More often, the answer is in the layout and the minimisation of circulation space.

The key is to consolidate your circulation towards the centre of the floor plan. Hallways, corridors and transition zones work hardest when they’re grouped together, not scattered through the home. Then locate your living areas, kitchen, dining and family spaces around the edge of the plan, where they sit adjacent to windows and have direct access to the outside. That’s how every room gets plenty of natural light, better cross ventilation and a stronger connection to the garden.

Good circulation is a lack of wasted space, and every square metre of your home should be working for the way you live.
